EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the tumultuous era of the First World War. In this image, we witness a horse drawn ambulance specially designed for horses themselves. It serves as a poignant reminder that amidst the chaos and destruction of war, even animals required care and attention. The focus here is on the work of the Army Veterinary Corps in the British Army during 1915. These unsung heroes played a crucial role in tending to injured horses on the Great Western Front. The dedication and compassion they showed towards these noble creatures are evident in this snapshot from history. As we gaze at this photograph, we can't help but feel admiration for those who worked tirelessly to provide veterinary care under such challenging circumstances. The horse ambulance stands as a symbol of their commitment to ensuring that no creature was left behind or neglected during times of conflict. This image transports us back over a century ago, reminding us not only of human suffering but also highlighting our responsibility towards all living beings affected by war. It serves as an important historical document, shedding light on an often overlooked aspect of warfare – animal welfare. In conclusion, this remarkable print captures both the harsh realities faced by soldiers during WWI and showcases humanity's capacity for empathy and compassion towards animals caught up in the turmoil.
